Has anyone's iPhone 5s Gold order shipped yet?

I ordered an iPhone 5s Gold 64 GB in the US apple webpage on September 21st. My order still says available to ship in October with the status being processing. Just wondering if anyone in a similar situation has had theirs shipped or preparing for shipment yet? Or maybe Apple is still filling the gold orders for those who ordered on September 20th... Just trying to see a bigger picture... Anyone has any info to share?

Thanks!

They are still filling orders for those who ordered gold phones on September 20th. The latest shipments I've seen on other forums (with small differences depending on capacity) are from the first hour or two after the online store opened (12am PST on 9/20).


For comparison, I ordered a gold 32gb AT&T phone on Apple.com at 7:37am PST on launch day and it still says "Processing Items". There are others who ordered the exact same model a few hours before me and they are still "Processing" as well.


So you may have a while to wait before your 9/21 order gets switched to "Preparing for Shipment"


Hopefully that helps.

I still haven't received my 2 iphones we ordered. We went to the Apple store and were told that they didn't have any gold iphones (after waiting 3 hours on line). My wife and I went home and ordered it online. My status still says Available to ship: October. We ordered them September 20th, 2 Gold iPhone 5S 64GB. I can't wait till they get here. HURRY HURRY HURRY...

Dear Stefanie,


I ordered my iphone 5s gold on September 29th, and I was told it would take five to seven weeks before it got shipped to me. I received an email from Apple stating I would get my phone between November the 5th to the 25thof November. In order words it has not gotten shipped yet, but it is on its way (I ordered a 16 GB one.)


I know you will have fun whe you get it.

I ordered a SPRINT 32gb GOLD 5s on the 20th, during mid-day, and my status also shows a 24-28th ship date and a most likely delivery on the 4th of November. However, the apple representative says it could ship earlier depending on availability. I'm hoping that I get it before the estimated time!!! I don't like the fact that I will be getting the phone at the same time as someone who ordered like yesterday. I ordered the day of the release, I should be getting it before them!! 😝

Hi stefani,


This is intuitionist, I received my iphone 5s gold late yesterday afternoon, delivered by UPS, with the 16 GB SIM installed already. In order to activate the phone I had to remove the nnano sim card (on the right edge of the phone there is an oval cover with a little pinhole to the left of it.) I had to use a needle to push in in order to remove the carrier which has the nano SIM card sittin in it. There is a corner that is cut off which needs to match the same shape into the carrier. I had to read both the top long line of numbers and letters, and the bottom row right after wards in order to be able to activated the phone. On the box there is a label with a title: IMEI: LETTERS AND NUMBERS WITH A RIGHT SLASH / FOLLOWED BY A LETTER. That number is also requested, and then viola, your brand new, thin, sleek, gold iphone 5s is ready to roll.


I hope you are very close to receive that email from Apple letting you know your phone is on its way!


Congrats!
